In recent years, there has been a surge in the development of expanded porphyrins which has been boosted by their unique optical, electrochemical, and coordination properties, as well as their potential uses as receptors of anionic or neutral substrates.[1] Rubyrin, which represents a class of [26] hexaphyrin (1.1. 0.1. 1.0) macrocycles, was first synthesized and characterized by Sessler et al. as a dication of a β-dodeca-(alkyl)-substituted molecule.[2, 3] A range of core-modified rubyrins that bear meso-aryl substituents have also been explored by Chandrashekar and co-workers.[4] The rubyrins prepared so far all exhibit a strong diatropic ring current in line with their 26-π-aromatic circuit. Furthermore, dicationic rubyrins have been shown to serve as a good receptor for anions,[2, 4] but structural details of resultant complexes have been only poorly studied except for the case of the parent rubyrin. Herein we report the concise synthesis of meso-arylsubstituted rubyrin 2 and interesting anion-recognition behavior of its dication. To the best of our knowledge, an all-aza isomer of a meso-aryl-substituted rubyrin has not been reported, despite its importance in the chemistry of expanded porphyrins. Besides the rubyrin derivative, its higher homologue nonaphyrin (1.1. 0.1. 1.0. 1.1. 0) was also obtained, and its structural characterization is also described here. Following the method reported by Chandrashekar and coworkers,[4b, c] a solution of meso-pentafluorophenyl-substituted tripyrrane 1 [5] in CH2Cl2 was treated with 0.5 equivalents of trifluoroacetic acid (TFA) in CH2Cl2 for 90 minutes at room temperature, then 3 equivalents of chloranil (tetrachloro-1, 4-benzoquinone) was added, and the mixture was subsequently heated at reflux for 90minutes. Sequential separations by column chromatography provided the rubyrin 5, 10, 19, 24-tetrakis (pentafluorophenyl)-[26] hexaphyrin-(1.1. 0.1. 1.0)(2) as a stable violet solid in 24% yield, and 5, 10, 19, 24, 33, 38-hexakis (pentafluorophenyl)-[38] nonaphyrin
